Ingredients
2 cups sweet corn kernels
4 cups water or vegetable broth
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, grated
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 egg, beaten (optional)
2 tbsp green onions, chopped
1/2 cup shredded chicken (optional)
Instructions
Blend half of the sweet corn kernels with a little water to form a coarse paste.
Heat oil in a pot over medium heat and sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant.
Add the remaining corn kernels and cook for a few minutes.
Pour in the blended corn mixture and water or broth, then bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes.
Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry, then stir it into the soup to thicken.
Season with salt, black pepper, and soy sauce.
If using egg, slowly drizzle it into the soup while stirring to create ribbons.
Add green onions and optional shredded chicken, then simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Serve hot.
Notes
Add milk or cream for a richer texture.
Include vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for extra flavor.
Use coconut milk for a slightly sweet variation.
Skip egg and chicken for a vegan version.
Add water or broth when reheating if the soup thickens.
